Camila Cabello‘s fourth studio album C,XOXO, a love letter to her home city of Miami marked by experimental hyper-pop influences, has finally arrived.
Dropping Friday (June 28), the LP features 14 tracks — two of which are Drake collaborations. It was led by the singles “I Luv It” with Playboi Carti — which peaked at No. 81 on the Billboard Hot 100 — and “He Knows” with Lil Nas X.
The Fifth Harmony alum first signaled that her next era was on its way in February, when she debuted a blonde hair makeover. The drastic change was her first hint that C,XOXO would find her looking and sounding totally different from her past work, with the vocalist last releasing an album in 2022 — Familia, which reached No. 10 on the Billboard 200. Before that came 2018’s Camila and 2019’s Romance, which peaked at Nos. 1 and 3, respectively.
“The voice that I found with my new album has this big baddie energy vibe,” Cabello told Billboard about her latest project in May. “Part of that spirit is taking risks, not giving a f–k and doing whatever you want.”
The former Voice coach also spoke about working with Drizzy on the record, calling him “the f–king GOAT.” “It felt like shooting for the stars,” she continued, recalling how she approached the rapper by sliding into his Instagram DMs. “I showed him the album when I felt comfortable enough and he really liked it. [The feature] came out of a nontransactional place. He had this idea of a song called ‘Hot Uptown,’ and it just felt like I was in the city. I was in Miami.”
